- Strawberries:
- 4 cups sliced strawberries
- 1/4 cup sugar
- Shortcake:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 6 tablespoons chilled butter, cut into small pieces
- 2/3 cup fat-free buttermilk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Cooking spray
- 1 large egg white, lightly beaten
- 1 1/2 teaspoons turbinado sugar or granulated sugar
- Remaining ingredients:
- 2 cups frozen fat-free whipped topping, thawed
- Whipped topping (optional)
- Whole strawberry (optional)
Method
- To prepare strawberries, combine strawberries and 1/4 cup sugar; cover and chill 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 400°.
- To prepare shortcake, lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and next 5 ingredients (flour through baking soda) in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Combine buttermilk and vanilla; add to flour mixture, stirring just until moist (dough will be sticky).
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead lightly 4 times with floured hands. Pat dough into an 8-inch circle on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Brush top with egg white; sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar.
- Bake at 400° for 15 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes on a wire rack. Carefully split shortcake in half horizontally using a serrated knife; cool layers separately on wire racks.
- Place bottom half of shortcake, cut side up, on a serving plate. Drain strawberries, reserving juice; drizzle juice over bottom half of shortcake. Spread 2 cups whipped topping over shortcake layer; arrange strawberries over whipped topping. Top with remaining shortcake layer, cut side down. Garnish with whipped topping and whole strawberry, if desired.
